I dived into urbit a while ago, and the way it is described makes sense. It's a completely new paradigm and trying to fit naming from popular programming languages would only lead to confusion. You have some new things, built on top of other new things and so on. When trying to describe higher level abstraction layer you can't afford to spend 2 sentences to describe each element from the lower one. So sure, you could go with some smart sounding names, but they would need to be much longer and they would make things seem more complicated than they are in reality.
